US-based medical evacuation insurance?
Does anyone have recommendations on/personal experience with companies that sell medical evacuation insurance for US citizens?

Luckily I never had to use it but I got medjet last year. (www.medjet.com) your first year is $175, they have their own hospital planes or will book you on a commercial flight if your mobile. They fly you home- not just to the hospital closest to your location. They'll even work with you inside the US if you have an accident 500 miles from home, or need to be flown to mayo clinic for special treatments.
Their rules are easier to meet than most other companies in terms of getting qualified for evacuation. In a nutshell if you are admitted to any bush hospital and can get a local official to say you need prolonged care, or advanced treatment they'll come get you. I found them through a friend who was very concerned about the best policy and did lots of research before getting it himself. -Ed |
